“The cure for the common marriage”

ComedyDrama

Rachel is a quick-witted and lovable stay-at-home mom, frustrated with the responsibilities of her son's preschool, a lacklustre sex life and a career that's gone kaput. One night, intent on spicing up their marriage, she visits an LA strip club with her husband, where she meets McKenna, a stripper she adopts as her live-in nanny.

VIBE

This film feels like a deeply uncomfortable, yet darkly funny, exploration of suburban ennui and repressed desires. It's a provocative character study that dives into the messy realities of relationships and the unexpected places people seek connection, leaving you squirming in your seat.
